Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship

Overview

The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship is intended to enable a mid-career journalist who specializes in fact-based commentary or analysis to have time away from daily responsibilities to pursue in-depth reporting projects. Fellows may use the funds to enrich their knowledge of a public interest issue through courses, independent study or travel. The fellowship is intended to result in published projects such as editorials, investigative series, podcasts or books.

Reward

The fellowship offers up to $100,000 to help journalists enrich their knowledge of public interest issues through study, research, or travel. More than one fellow may be selected, and the award amount can be divided at the discretion of the judges. Recipients are expected to publish their project results and provide a written report on how the funds were used.
